Electricity seems destined to play a most important part in the arts and industries. The question of its economical application to some purposes is still unsettled, but experiment has already proved that it will propel a street car better than a gas jet and give more light than a horse. [Ambrose Bierce, "The Cynic's Word Book," 1906]
电力似乎注定将在艺术和工业中发挥极其重要的作用。它在某些用途上的经济应用问题尚未解决,但实验已经证明,它比燃气喷射器更能推动电车,比马匹提供更多的光亮。[安布罗斯·比尔斯,《愤世嫉俗者的词典》,1906年]
